2) A person is so overcome with being in Obama's presence that the person faints. Usually more than one person faints, often many.
3) Obama pauses his speech to alert paramedics and EMTs to the fainting person or people.
4) Obama asks if anyone has water and then offers his own bottle of water.
5) Obama offers medical advice (i.e. give the fainted person some room to breathe, get the person some water, make room for the paramedics)
6) Obama pronounces the fainter as fine. How would Obama know that? That person could have had a heart attack, but somehow Obama knew these people were all okay.
7) At the most recent fainting episode in Maryland on October 7, 2010, the temperature was 74 degrees. Yet reports had two dozen people fainting during that speech. How is that possible? This was a speech to young college kids.
Does anyone remember people fainting at speeches being delivered by other Presidents -- much less the epidemic of faintings that happen at Obama's speeches?
James Taranto of the The Wall Street Journal in 2008 raised the issue, cataloging instances of fainting at Obama's speeches that looked suspicious even way back then. Here's part of Taranto's report:
Hartford, Conn., Feb. 4, 2008. "And when a woman appeared to faint in the standing-only VIP section in front of the podium, Obama paused his speech for over a minute as he directed the crowd to make way for an EMT team and tossed a bottle of water from the stage," reported the Yale Daily News.
Seattle, Feb. 8, 2008. "Climate change, the Iraq war and Obama tossing a bottle of water to a woman about to faint all received big cheers," MSNBC.com reported. "As Obama told the crowd to part so that the woman in question could leave and called for help, a young girl in the crowd shouted out, 'What a man!' The audience roared with laughter (although the press that has seen this happen before rolled its eyes)."
Obama knows he and his party are in trouble, so is resorting to his old tricks again -- trying to reignite the old magic.
So these faintings are all part of the act and are scripted on Obama's teleprompter.
This also appears to be part of Obama's broader effort to set himself up as some kind of quasi-religious or Messianic figure. It's the kind of egocentric, self-aggrandizing behavior that's straight out of the tyrant's handbook.

People fainted at Beatles and Elvis concerts. Some folks are a bit air headed to begin with, it's not too much of a stretch to think true believers might get overwhelmed by their own diety in person.

0 has missed his calling. He should have become a televangelist like Ernest Angley, shouting "Be Healed!" and clapping people on the forehead as they go down. The American Booboisie are still with us.

Federal employee unions should all be illegal. After all, just whom is it they are organized against? The US taxpayer. The US citizen.
Scumbag liars.

EVERYONE who is a Government employee serves "at the convenience of the Government". There is no way they should be unionized. It puts a layer of bureaucracy between the government and its employees that need not exist. President Reagan didn't have much problem firing the Air Traffic Controllers, en masse, when they tried to strike. We need another president that is willing to do that on a national scale, with all government employees.

Well I for one am shocked, **SHOCKED** I SAY that the democratic party would disenfrancise those who are fighting and dying for us overseas.
But of course if one single felon, dead, or imaginary democrat voter so much as get questioned about their identity - it'll be *RACISM* and there will be HELL TO PAY!

Long time past when service members should have been declared a 'protected group' which is legalese for allowing the application of criminal statutes concerning civil rights and violations of those rights.
The New York State Board of Elections expects to get hit as early as Tuesday with a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice targeting counties violating a federal law that protects military voters, the state boards chairman told FoxNews.com.
The legal action would mark the most aggressive federal intervention yet amid an ongoing debate over how to enforce compliance with the 2009 Military and Overseas Voters Empowerment Act , known as the MOVE Act. The Department of Justice is expected to intervene in several New York counties that missed deadlines intended to ensure that overseas ballots are sent, received and counted on time.

Wisconsin tried to get a 'hardship' exemption from the Move Act for 2010.
No exemption granted at the federal level, yet the illustrious Wisconsin Elections Board will still endeavor to muck up the military vote somehow. Feingold IS up for re-election ya know (along with a host of other socialists).

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
